#3 – A Trip Down Memory Lane
As you bid farewell to the year, you can share with your loved ones the exciting events that happened in the year that was. You can invite other residents and their families to join the activity. Apart from that, you can also ask them to show and tell about a favorite item or heirlooms they have.
#4 – New Year’s Bucket list
Rather than asking each other’s New Year’s Resolution, why don’t you ask your loved ones to write their New Year’s Bucket list then see within the year how many can they do?
#5 – Friendly Contest
To pass the time while waiting for midnight, you and your loved ones can bond with other residents and their family through various contests. It can be singing, dancing, dress-up or other fun games that everyone can enjoy.
#6 – Fill A Time Capsule
Another way to bond with your love ones is to make a time capsule and ask them to put anything they want. You can decide to open it at the end of next year or whenever they fill like doing so.
#7 – Bake or Cook Together
Instead of ordering a New Year’s Meal, why don’t you spend the day or night preparing your favorite New Year’s Dish with your loved ones? This is a good way to bond with them.
#8 – Attend a Family Friendly Event at Myrtle Beach
Myrtle Beach has a lot of events in store for the New Year. You can join an early party with the family at Dave and Buster’s happening from 4pm to 7pm.
